The price of white maize has defied increased inflow of duty-free imports and season’s harvests to rise to an all-time high of Sh5,849 for the 90 kilogramme bag, burdening the poor households more.
The local retail price of maize has risen by 14 per cent in the last 30 days to Friday, overtaking Tanzania, which up to last month was the most expensive market for the staple grain, shows data prepared by Regional Agricultural Trade Intelligence Network (Ratin).
